These oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies are soft and chewy. Loaded with old fashioned oats, chocolate chunks, and the perfect sprinkle of sea salt. This cookie dough only needs to chill for 30 minutes and the cookies come together so easily! A portion scoop will make scooping cookie dough a breeze and help ensure the cookies back evenly.

Highlights:

  • Slightly crispy edges
  • Gooey chocolate center
  • Loaded with oats
  • Soft & chewy
  • Hints of vanilla
  • Touch of sea salt

Simply make the cookie dough according to the recipe, scoop even sized amounts of dough onto a sheet pan and place in the freezer until hard. Transfer the cookie dough to an airtight container or freezer bag labeled with the date, type of cookie, and baking instructions. Keep in your freezer stash for 6-8 months. Remove desired amount when needed, bake, and enjoy! You may even want to make a double batch!

Grocery list:

  • All-purpose flour
  • Kosher Salt
  • Baking soda
  • Cornstarch
  • Chocolate chunks ( could substitute milk chocolate chips or semi sweet chocolate chips)
  • Old fashioned oats
  • Whole large eggs
  • Vanilla extract
  • Unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
  • Granulated sugar
  • Light brown sugar

Tools I used for this easy cookie recipe:

  • USA Pan Half Sheet Pan – my go-to sheet pans, these are truly non-stick and clean up nicely.
  • Rubber Spatula – a must for any home baker! Perfect for scrapping cookie dough out of the mixing bowl.
  • Portion Scoops – my go to for getting even sized cookies that bake perfectly each time!

Instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats, set aside.
  • In a small bowl combine the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt, stir to combine.
  • In the bowl of an electric hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment mix together the melted butter and sugars, on low speed for 2-3 minutes. Add in the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the mixer bowl.
  • Slowly add in the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mix on low until combined. Fold in the oats and chocolate chunks, reserve a handful of chocolate chunks to press on top of the cookies prior to baking if desired. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
  • Using a portion scoop or measuring spoon, scoop even sized balls of cookie dough – roughly 1 oz. Arrange evenly on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown, cookies will still be soft in the middle. Allow to cool for a few minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to a cooling rack. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired and enjoy!

    The recipe looks great. However I only have quick oats. Can I substitute?
